Love Koh Chang ! Great James bond intro music! You are brave mate. I would not cross that bridge. Wish I had a few of those fish tacos and a margaritas. I will be stopping there. Excellent video Paddy.
Ko Mak and Ko Kood are both nice as well. And there's the other Ko Chang over on the other side of Thailand that I've wanted to visit. No roads so you have to walk everywhere on the island. Thailand is definitely looking tempting now that things are getting more relaxed around the world.
That dark room instead of the balcony with sea view. That would put me off . Looks you take it easy without drama. Interesting video, thanks for share with us.
I have been to Koh Chang for 8 straight years!! My favorite places to Eat is "I do i do" For breakfast, a private little place with a nice beach, and i usually end up on "Magic Garden" In lonely beach for dinner, Their food for me is top tier, and such a cozy place! Going down 1th November for 3 weeks
Interesting that the girl at the restaurant recommended Coral resort. That’s were me and my wife always stay when we are on koh chang. Love hanging out in the pool watching the sunset. There’s a lot of good restaurants relatively close and okay bars.
Koh Chang: My favorite place on the planet! You should visit Lonely Beach for the nightlife. But don’t stay overnight too close, cos it gets VERY loud at night. Then you should visit the Pier closeby. Also Long Beach on the other side of the island is also a very peaceful place to visit for a day.Also try and squeeze in the waterfall (there are a few), but the one you pay to visit (nature reserve) is well worth it, if only for the pretty views and wonderful swim. This takes me back and is such a beautiful reminder. Thanks Paddy!!cant wait to go back. It’s been waaayyy too long. Keep up the great work. I love you videos!!!
Our favourite vacation island so far, hope you try koh Kut, Kai Bai beach side is the sandy side while to the east is more pebbles yet much nicer and cheaper accommodation. Just north of you is the is the Klong Phlu waterfall it is the nicest and has a few levels if the guard does not stop you climbing up. And this time of year it will be switched “on” while others may be dry, but honestly you have seen much better. following the river down there are some beautiful resorts on the beach and lagoon, following the road to Kai Bai a bicycle and book hire store on the left, now if you look right a board walk takes you thru palm trees over the small river as it goes to the sea, the beach to the left there is pristine and remote, watch out for sand flies on remote beaches tho I believe most beaches are remote just now. If you follow the horse shoe shape coast road south into the hills the Rasta bar is a nice break and view, always see the black and white sea eagles fishing in the bay and around the piers there. Also some nice resorts. Continue a little farther the road narrows and you come to the Grand Lagoon once a vacation and social gathering spot for Taxin Sinawatra, you know that Thai Guy who owned Liverpool F.C. He trenched out the beach there and sailed his cruise ship aground “a casino” with nearby helipad ,tho hasn’t been back for years. There are a lot of house boats for rent and you pay 40 baht entrance and can use the swimming pool on one of the boats. BUT THE BEACH IS TO DIE FOR never seen more than 6 people on it , a waterfall tips into the lagoon and pools of water lilies just minutes from the sea, and possibly the biggest elephants you will see. Its a great run for dreamy, on the other end of the loop East is the mangrove swamp with concrete boardwalk, already mentioned in the comments the wat Salak Petch that is there is a new build stunning at a cost of £20,000.Take a few days to explore again resorts down by the bays edge on this east side are very nice most are on the water. White Sands (west and close to the ferry) is usually busy-pre-covid and has more to offer for night life if you are on foot. Enjoy I will be there for xmas.
The bridge is built on two purposes, 1st = to show the name of the village and welcome banner. 2nd = like crossing street skywalk in Bangkok, but this one is crossing river skywalk. So, it is strong enough to walk across, even its handheld is shaken. But the local villagers are get used to and no need even to hold their hands on it while crossing anyway. Smooth editing and presentation as always. Love your videos. 💚👍👍
We enjoyed Koh Chang alot - good local vibe, and found a great chill spot at Mr T Reggae Bar in the evening for some great local music and food. He's a great host!
Koh Chang is a beautiful island and the best thing about it is it doesn't have all these Instagram influencer life coach yoga hippie guru types. Much more down to earth and relaxing than Phangan for example.
Me and a couple of guys ive met on Koh Chang always go back here every winter, we have atleast 4 nights per week at El Barrio. The Fajitas is the best ive ever had. Also their guacamole is insane with homemade nachos
Just got back. Really quiet, which I liked. Stayed at the Bamboo resort. 1000 B per night with pool. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Also stayed at Sapparot in Klong Proa. Very nice rooms and friendly owners, also 1000 per night.
Then after you’ve got Koh Kood and Koh Mak nearby! 🏝. The best cool place I found to stay awhile was as far as you can go on the road to the south of the island Bang Bao, certainly visit the pier and the beach is glorious! I loved Nature Beach Resort too by Lonely Beach! Try the CoCo restaurant very friendly people and fantastic view and food 🍱
I had drove from Bangkok to Koh Chang in 2018, I stayed 10 days. There are some small restaurants with unique vibe over View point, don't remember the names.
Hey Paddy all of the islands around Koh Chang are gorgeous and all very different. Head off from Bang Bap to Koh Wai where there are loads of Persian and rag doll cats!. Koh Mak and Koh Kham are beautiful! Not forgetting Koh Chang itself, we’ve been going there for years, it’s a beautiful island. If you need any recommendations give me a shout! Of all of them though, Koh Kut has to be the probably the best Thai island, if you haven’t been you ‘must’ go. It all starts with the approach on the ferry…..You don’t need to worry about the confused songthaew system from the pier to accommodation as you will just whizz past on dreamy!
I really wants to visit koh Chang, I had been watching so many videos regarding koh Chang, from many blogers, but I like your videos so much as the way you explain the things while showing videos, it's just amazing..... Sir, waiting for full koh Chang video. 😃
Koh Chang. Lonely Beach. Maybe have lunch at Little Eden and stay in a jungle bungalow up the hill from the Beach. If you do, please say hi to the guitar playing part owner, a Brit, named David Newman. He's in Trat until Monday. However, his friends might be around to take you on a hike up the mountainside through the jungle to some very nice spots. It's a very "cool" spot to kick back, chat and get to know the area a little more. I've "sat-in" with the local musicians around Lonely Beach. Great fun. dcb
I look 👀 forward to the rest of ur blog it’s my goal to go to it and walk along white sands beach and there an irsh bar u can stay in and the night time food looked brilliant I seen it on gef carter’s blog I was staying in Phuket and they had a happy hour with cocktails 🍸 like u I was beside the pool bringing them it felt 👍 enjoy 😉
Wow I need to get back already! Great vlog Paddy just come back from here I couldn’t believe the devastation on the small businesses & bars hopefully they’ll get back and rebuild. When you go to bang bao pier try restaurant on the left-hand side called the ChillHouse lovely Thai couple fantastic views! The food is fantastic but they’ve had to reduce the menu due to the situation and lack of custom. PS you should’ve stayed at Seaview hotel you get a cable car to breakfast with having a look and have their own restaurants as well on the beach cheers for now Craig
Thanks for the previous journey with dreamy... On to the new adventures with random tourist food and spoken advertisements... It almost makes me glad of covid and the humbleness it brought to the world........ Apologies I couldn't complete watching.....
Hi Paddy, I love the boardwalk thru the mangrove and the way they only let the most courageous (or dumbest?🥳) cross a river. I thought it was hilarious how they charge you and give you a ticket just to have someone else take it 10 meters later.
Near Tees kitchen is a road into the island to a waterfall (along a small river) There's one spot where the road crosses river and locals their bikes and kids play in water. Was a nice memory for me
Hi Paddy... Go and check out the ghost ship of Koh Chang... Nce Beach, pool and food.. If they are open. You also need to take a snorkeling excursion it's so good.
that mexican restaurant is the best mexican restaurant I've found in Thailand... amazing food and a must go! There's also a small vegan place on koh chang, absolutely amazing and chilled place
Have been a couple of times to Koh Chang, and it kind of depends on the season. But for me it always has been the perfekt get away location, just laying on the beach, having a beer or two - great food everywhere, and lovley for strolling around with the bike
I stayed awa last week.. and also ate at the Mexican joint.. best burritos I’ve ever eaten.. waited for happy hour at the awa bar, buy one get one free .. 🙏
Nice dude. Digging this video, reminds me of some of your earlier ones. Hitting the road, grabbing a tasty beverage, finishing off with a swim at the pool. I am envious my dude.
You should stay at ”mercure hideaway” at the south. Visit Bang bao pier at the south. Then take the slow post boat to koh mak. Visit koh kham island. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩🤩
Would have loved to see how you navigated those big hills straight after the ferry. It was scary in a car, i've no idea how you felt on a motorbike lol!
Koh Chang is my second home, (hopefully my first in the not to distant future). If you're still around Kai Bae check out the Mount coffee shop, best views for miles. Try Oodies in white sand beach for a decent bar with music, and say hello to the old git from me :)
Mr Doy-Lee is a heavy drinker :) 2 for 1, or one who drinks for two? 555, enjoy Koh Chang. I love it. Klong Prao Resort is nice tho, with the private beach.
Cannot wait to go to Koh Chang, but I imagine 2023 will be busier than this year, due to the travel restrictions being lifted for all countries to visit again. Great video. do enjoy watching all of your Thailand adventures.
Did you tip the bellhop? Decent enough hotel. El Barrio (The Neighborhood) food/drink looked really good and authentic. The waitress sounded Mexican. Might have been an interesting story there.
In Koh Chang, I recommend a resort called 'Elephant & Castle' - the owner is a nice English chap, and he rustled-up an epic belly-busting full English breakfast. I assume you are heading for Koh Kood soon, so I am digging into my photo archive to find the restaurant serving THE BEST Pad Thai and Masaman I ever had...
..ok, I found it. It's a cafe called 'Cheewa COFFEE and CAKE'. Google says 'temporarily closed'. I hope this is not the case when you arrive because the coffee, milk tea and seemingly everything they made was "next level"
El Barrio is excellent. Next time try staying at Bangbao Beach resort, nice air conditioned wooden bungalows on the sand, absolute beach front. Tell Jebbie, Pat and Keith sent you and you’ll get a discount.
Good stuff! I'visited both the mexican restaurant and the hotel when i came to Ko Chang about 4 years ago. I wasn't particularly impressed with the island but we had a great time because of the female company. It's brought back a few memories.
Hi dear. Paddy. There r many few beaches in Koh Chang. There is rush & busy White Sand beach with bigger market etc. But I think The Lonely beach is quite relaxed one & cheap too. Phuket ,Krabi area is more expensive but Koh Chang is quite cheap.. besides I say the whole of Thailand is very good ,over all. Good luck.
Hi Paddy, try White Sand Beach. There is a lot of great places to stay. I can recommend Bang Bao Beach where you will have the feeling of being on the tropical beach. There are a lot of funny-looking houses boasts there and very quiet and peaceful. The roads are like the rollercoaster style and very scenic. Another day you can go to the other side of Koh Chang. Back to the ferry place and keep driving until you can't get any further. There is a viewpoint and a small town with fishing boats and some restaurants at the viewpoint. Koh Chang is my favorite island in Thailand for sure ;-). Enjoy Koh Chang, Paddy. It is a great island. I am coming to Thailand myself in April and stay for 2 months. Maybe I will see you there. Take care ;-).
I recommend staying at the Nivana resort. It's got a beach front and surround by jungle with a pool out in the jungle with a rocky waterfall cascading into it
Top vlog once again, Paddy! This made me crave fish tacos!! And that resort would not have been an option on a Budgeteers episode. LOL! Wait..unless you create a vlog that features the resort and they let you stay for free! Just like in Budgeteers Season 1 when you recovered from possible heat stroke!
If you need some conditioned expats, kayak up the first Klong on Klong prao and there is Moley who runs ‘Moleys’ on the riverbank (left side) then opposite Ian aka @iamkohchang. His place is Baan Rim Nam’. Very informative and runs a very reputable mini bus service to and from the islands to Bangkok……Also check out the Cambodian school set up by a Dutch couple…. You will however encounter more elephant issues on the island as you approach Kai Bae 😔
Hiya Paddy, that was a proper dodgy bridge. Nervous laugh. Lol. Love the mangroves. Was it massive? Paddy. Haha. Brilliant. Love the countdown clock. You crack me up. You always have me laughing. I love your videos. Your tacos looked delicious. Nice place to stay. You should have been cheeky and asked for a room change. :) Lovely pool. Nice to see you chilling a little. Great video. Have a lovely weekend.
And if the bridge collapses, Paddy falls down, not to high of a fall, but he hits a semi sharp log still standing up from some previous building 1.5 meters under the water🤕
Hey Paddy😊 I am trying to write you some recomendations, but my note keeps disappearing? One more time - now with out links: Loooove to follow you arround Thailand - and now you are in one of my favorite parts: Koh Chang, Koh Wai, Koh Mak and Koh Kood🤗🥰 Thank you for being you and for sharing your experiences with us🙏🏼 I recomend all of Koh Chang😄 You could visit: -KP Huts at klong prao beach - nice people, great food, cheap autentich huts (get the high one at the beach) -Bang Bao Pier is also really nice Koh Mak: Coco Cape Resort have all types of bungalows, a really special place, nice snorkling and relaxing surroundings and environment. Koh Kood: Siam Beach Resort at Hat Bang Bao: crystel clear water, nice bungalows, great food. Enjoy your trip🥰 The kindest greetings from Ann, Denmark🇩🇰
I went there before , It was ok , didn’t like it much but they said if you takes a left instead of the right when you get there , it is more peaceful . Koh Mak, Koh Kood and Kho Wai are peaceful as well . Kho Wai , there is no electricity but the generator will comes on at night . Dreamy still alive , I am surprised , with only 50 cc, she went there and back again. I learned something new , I didn’t know how the Mexican comes to Kho Chang and why they like get there ?😀😀
Hi Paddy. Nice to see you on an adventure again. Hope you had enough time to explore that gorgeous island. Looking forward to the upcoming videos from Koh Chang. Cheers!
hey Paddy! Koh kood is definitely next level! if you're staying longer in Koh chang you have to go to "PIZZERIA SPAGHETTERIA TOSCANA" best and very cheap Italian food!
Try Filou Villa for a 1 week booking in Kae Bae Beach. Also try Morgan's Restaurant and Filou Restaurant in Kae Bae Beach. Also try Chivapuri Beach Resort on the southern tip of Ko Chang.
The ghost ship after Klong kloi for drome film and strange story. 15 Palms on White Sands for great food. Salakphet and Salakok walkways through the mangroves.
I know what you mean with parking your bike 30cm in the wrong place. It’s a power thing. It’s similar to whenever you go to a shop and there’s 3 checkouts so you put your goods down at one of them, only for the checkout attendant to tell you you’re at the wrong one…every single time!
dear Paddy:are you staying in a resort or hotels located on the hill on the island in which you can swim on the swiming pool ,have exercise facilities and a one hundred steps ladders up and down built between the tiny beach and the resort?It's built by German owner.I forget the name of that but it's awesome.
beautiful island Paddy. The have another big mangrove swamp to the south west of the island. be carful of the roads as they have big hills and sharp bends. Go see the light house and the cost line along north west
Love Koh Chang ! Great James bond intro music! You are brave mate. I would not cross that bridge. Wish I had a few of those fish tacos and a margaritas. I will be stopping there. Excellent video Paddy.
👅🤣👅
🤣

Been to Koh Chang several times and it is the best. Make sure you do the 4 island snorkel tour as those guys are great.
Ko Mak and Ko Kood are both nice as well. And there's the other Ko Chang over on the other side of Thailand that I've wanted to visit. No roads so you have to walk everywhere on the island. Thailand is definitely looking tempting now that things are getting more relaxed around the world.

Did you hear me yelling at you to get off that bridge? You were making my palms sweaty.
That dark room instead of the balcony with sea view. That would put me off . Looks you take it easy without drama. Interesting video, thanks for share with us.

Love hanging out in the pool watching the sunset. There’s a lot of good restaurants relatively close and okay bars.

Have a Nice Time on Koh Chang. Good Luck Paddy and Take Care. 🙏
Every time I encounter your videos I just feel like I'm somewhere else. It's a way of traveling that I like very much. Thank you! : )

We are flying to Thailand in two weeks for a month, and just that clip of you drinking a Pina Colada in the pool is getting me pretty excited
The intro is very good, I also liked this little bridge.I love the town of Trat and the surrounding islands!...new sub here
The bridge is built on two purposes, 1st = to show the name of the village and welcome banner. 2nd = like crossing street skywalk in Bangkok, but this one is crossing river skywalk. So, it is strong enough to walk across, even its handheld is shaken. But the local villagers are get used to and no need even to hold their hands on it while crossing anyway.
Smooth editing and presentation as always. Love your videos.
💚👍👍
Koh Chang is a beautiful island! I wanted to visit for about 2 years and finally got the chance after quitting my job at Thaiger News in Bangkok.
We enjoyed Koh Chang alot - good local vibe, and found a great chill spot at Mr T Reggae Bar in the evening for some great local music and food. He's a great host!
Koh Chang is a beautiful island and the best thing about it is it doesn't have all these Instagram influencer life coach yoga hippie guru types. Much more down to earth and relaxing than Phangan for example.
Me and a couple of guys ive met on Koh Chang always go back here every winter, we have atleast 4 nights per week at El Barrio. The Fajitas is the best ive ever had. Also their guacamole is insane with homemade nachos
Love Koh Chang, I went in December, it's fairly quiet through the week or was then, weekend buy with Thai people. Was lovely
I stayed at the Santhiya Resort in Koh Chang in 2020 and it was stunning! Will definitely be trying out El Barrio next time I'm on the island
i'm booked in there in April!! Hope its as good as the one on Koh Yao Yai!! :-)
Just got back. Really quiet, which I liked. Stayed at the Bamboo resort. 1000 B per night with pool. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Also stayed at Sapparot in Klong Proa. Very nice rooms and friendly owners, also 1000 per night.
Hi Paddy , it's true that Koh Chang is a beautiful island but Koh Kood is even more beautiful , wilder with wonderful beaches . Enjoy
Pls Visit my Place, Oroquieta City Province of Misamis Occidental Its More Fun in Philippines
One word to describe Koh Chang - MASSIVE!
Then after you’ve got Koh Kood and Koh Mak nearby! 🏝. The best cool place I found to stay awhile was as far as you can go on the road to the south of the island Bang Bao, certainly visit the pier and the beach is glorious! I loved Nature Beach Resort too by Lonely Beach! Try the CoCo restaurant very friendly people and fantastic view and food 🍱
Yup that beach at the far end, past Bang Bao pier, is something special. Perfect tropical beach environment...from the sand to the trees.

A big fan of Koh Chang. Stayed at white sands about 5 times and lonely beach 2 times. Great running all over the place.
Hello Paddy Omg that bridge bit scary lol the tacos looked amazing cheers to the cocktails. Never been to Koh Chang great video take care.
Hi Paddy, You've got to see Koh Kood and by the way if you want some really nice Italian food on Koh Chang drop by at Mordi di Fuggi in Kai Bae!
Great video Paddy 😍 Like the “raw” material 👏 felt like I was in Mallorca with all the Spanish music 🎶😅😂😂
❤❤❤
I had drove from Bangkok to Koh Chang in 2018, I stayed 10 days. There are some small restaurants with unique vibe over View point, don't remember the names.
I love it! I hope to go to Ko Chang next month 🤩
Pls Visit my Place, Oroquieta City Province of Misamis Occidental Its More Fun in Philippines
Incredible Koh Chang.. always wanted to go There.
I just went to El Barrio based on your recommendation. I loved it. The food and the cocktails were amazing 😻
That Countdown timer killed me! 🤣🤣 And pleased to see it's not just me that struggles with simple menu choices!
Hi Paddy, some good places are Rasta View cafe bar, Toscana Italian Restaurant, El Barrio and secluded beach at Bluehaven bay
Another great video Paddy, like the way you tell it how it really is, and see the humor in it too 👍
Hey Paddy all of the islands around Koh Chang are gorgeous and all very different. Head off from Bang Bap to Koh Wai where there are loads of Persian and rag doll cats!. Koh Mak and Koh Kham are beautiful!

I really wants to visit koh Chang, I had been watching so many videos regarding koh Chang, from many blogers, but I like your videos so much as the way you explain the things while showing videos, it's just amazing.....
Sir, waiting for full koh Chang video.
😃
Koh Chang. Lonely Beach. Maybe have lunch at Little Eden and stay in a jungle bungalow up the hill from the Beach. If you do, please say hi to the guitar playing part owner, a Brit, named David Newman. He's in Trat until Monday. However, his friends might be around to take you on a hike up the mountainside through the jungle to some very nice spots. It's a very "cool" spot to kick back, chat and get to know the area a little more. I've "sat-in" with the local musicians around Lonely Beach. Great fun. dcb
copy that!
I look 👀 forward to the rest of ur blog it’s my goal to go to it and walk along white sands beach and there an irsh bar u can stay in and the night time food looked brilliant I seen it on gef carter’s blog I was staying in Phuket and they had a happy hour with cocktails 🍸 like u I was beside the pool bringing them it felt 👍 enjoy 😉
Koh Chiang is AWSOME ! A great Island to hang out on and drive a motorbike around . You are going to love it.
Thanks Paddy have always wanted to get to Ko Chang
Wow I need to get back already! Great vlog Paddy just come back from here I couldn’t believe the devastation on the small businesses & bars hopefully they’ll get back and rebuild. When you go to bang bao pier try restaurant on the left-hand side called the ChillHouse lovely Thai couple fantastic views! The food is fantastic but they’ve had to reduce the menu due to the situation and lack of custom. PS you should’ve stayed at Seaview hotel you get a cable car to breakfast with having a look and have their own restaurants as well on the beach cheers for now Craig

Hi Paddy... Go and check out the ghost ship of Koh Chang... Nce Beach, pool and food.. If they are open. You also need to take a snorkeling excursion it's so good.
The temple on the far eastern side of Koh Chang is a good contrast, I think the roaming cook visited a popular restaurant around the mangroves there
that mexican restaurant is the best mexican restaurant I've found in Thailand... amazing food and a must go! There's also a small vegan place on koh chang, absolutely amazing and chilled place
Which vegan restaurant, I’m on the island now:)
@@mehliya603 tofu kitchen 🫡
Love koh chang, you should check koh kood is amazing.
The chill next door is much nicer to stay in if you have the money
Have been a couple of times to Koh Chang, and it kind of depends on the season. But for me it always has been the perfekt get away location, just laying on the beach, having a beer or two - great food everywhere, and lovley for strolling around with the bike
Koh Chang and Koh Kood (Koh Cut) are my favorite islands in all of Thailand. I’ve been there so many times for so many years. Always return there
I stayed awa last week.. and also ate at the Mexican joint.. best burritos I’ve ever eaten.. waited for happy hour at the awa bar, buy one get one free .. 🙏
Nice dude. Digging this video, reminds me of some of your earlier ones. Hitting the road, grabbing a tasty beverage, finishing off with a swim at the pool. I am envious my dude.
I have been to koh chang at El barrio and it was brilliant
You should stay at ”mercure hideaway” at the south. Visit Bang bao pier at the south. Then take the slow post boat to koh mak. Visit koh kham island. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩🤩
I thought I should say how good the video quality is . I often watch your stuff on my 85 cm big screen . So you still good in Hi def.
😜😜
Would have loved to see how you navigated those big hills straight after the ferry. It was scary in a car, i've no idea how you felt on a motorbike lol!

Haha i think Paddy didnt or forgot. The Bellman was obviously waiting to get some tips as he announced his greetings after moving the bags. 😅
That bridge would have been a NOPE for me! 😆😁
Koh Chang looks lovely so far! Love that they have Mexican food - seems so strange, but amazing! 😁
It was so good. I ate there at least 5 times the week I was there

Good stuff! I'visited both the mexican restaurant and the hotel when i came to Ko Chang about 4 years ago. I wasn't particularly impressed with the island but we had a great time because of the female company. It's brought back a few memories.

Hi dear. Paddy. There r many few beaches in Koh Chang. There is rush & busy White Sand beach with bigger market etc. But I think The Lonely beach is quite relaxed one & cheap too. Phuket ,Krabi area is more expensive but Koh Chang is quite cheap.. besides I say the whole of Thailand is very good ,over all. Good luck.
We were just there this weekend. Watching your video now
Hi Paddy, try White Sand Beach. There is a lot of great places to stay. I can recommend Bang Bao Beach where you will have the feeling of being on the tropical beach. There are a lot of funny-looking houses boasts there and very quiet and peaceful. The roads are like the rollercoaster style and very scenic. Another day you can go to the other side of Koh Chang. Back to the ferry place and keep driving until you can't get any further. There is a viewpoint and a small town with fishing boats and some restaurants at the viewpoint. Koh Chang is my favorite island in Thailand for sure ;-).
Enjoy Koh Chang, Paddy. It is a great island. I am coming to Thailand myself in April and stay for 2 months. Maybe I will see you there. Take care ;-).
I recommend staying at the Nivana resort. It's got a beach front and surround by jungle with a pool out in the jungle with a rocky waterfall cascading into it
Top vlog once again, Paddy! This made me crave fish tacos!! And that resort would not have been an option on a Budgeteers episode. LOL! Wait..unless you create a vlog that features the resort and they let you stay for free! Just like in Budgeteers Season 1 when you recovered from possible heat stroke!
If you need some conditioned expats, kayak up the first Klong on Klong prao and there is Moley who runs ‘Moleys’ on the riverbank (left side) then opposite Ian aka @iamkohchang. His place is Baan Rim Nam’. Very informative and runs a very reputable mini bus service to and from the islands to Bangkok……Also check out the Cambodian school set up by a Dutch couple…. You will however encounter more elephant issues on the island as you approach Kai Bae 😔
❤️🙏🏻Paddy made my evening! 💞
Hiya Paddy, that was a proper dodgy bridge. Nervous laugh. Lol. Love the mangroves. Was it massive? Paddy. Haha. Brilliant. Love the countdown clock. You crack me up. You always have me laughing. I love your videos. Your tacos looked delicious. Nice place to stay. You should have been cheeky and asked for a room change. :) Lovely pool. Nice to see you chilling a little. Great video. Have a lovely weekend.
Thanks Nicky! Same to you too ❤️
@@PaddyDoyle. Thank you 🤗🥰
And if the bridge collapses, Paddy falls down, not to high of a fall, but he hits a semi sharp log still standing up from some previous building 1.5 meters under the water🤕
Koh Chang is my favourite island in Thailand. Beautiful beaches and not so crowded and expensive then the other islands

haha love the Countdown reference you should have had Carol Vorderman in a bubble when time came to check the bill was correct
Try Ko Chang Noi in the Andaman sea just off Ranong .......Totally lovely.😎
Koh chang is my fave part of Thailand. The AWA is a great spot too!
I went there before , It was ok , didn’t like it much but they said if you takes a left instead of the right when you get there , it is more peaceful . Koh Mak, Koh Kood and Kho Wai are peaceful as well . Kho Wai , there is no electricity but the generator will comes on at night . Dreamy still alive , I am surprised , with only 50 cc, she went there and back again. I learned something new , I didn’t know how the Mexican comes to Kho Chang and why they like get there ?😀😀
Welcome to Koh Chang, drive carefully and have fun.😊
The Tacos 🌮 and Margarita look amazing .
Look forward to part 2 of this 😮
Hi Paddy. Nice to see you on an adventure again. Hope you had enough time to explore that gorgeous island. Looking forward to the upcoming videos from Koh Chang. Cheers!
Paddy, I stayed at the tropical hideaway. Very nice and right on the beach. You can walk to the right along the beach to the restaurants.
hey Paddy! Koh kood is definitely next level!
if you're staying longer in Koh chang you have to go to "PIZZERIA SPAGHETTERIA TOSCANA" best and very cheap Italian food!
This looks like a winner! Two for one on the drinks, a nice pool...yeah, count me in!
cheers to that!
Job well done mate, you own private seven 11 😊
I bet you enjoyed the island 💪
And as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻
Try Filou Villa for a 1 week booking in Kae Bae Beach. Also try Morgan's Restaurant and Filou Restaurant in Kae Bae Beach. Also try Chivapuri Beach Resort on the southern tip of Ko Chang.
Hi Paddy.. do you do all the filming on your own ie drone work… what about a video on how you do your editing etc 🎞🎬
Take a shot every time Paddy says massive 🤣
Ah Love El Barrio & their fish tacos & Lorena! She's an awesome host
The ghost ship after Klong kloi for drome film and strange story. 15 Palms on White Sands for great food. Salakphet and Salakok walkways through the mangroves.
I know what you mean with parking your bike 30cm in the wrong place. It’s a power thing. It’s similar to whenever you go to a shop and there’s 3 checkouts so you put your goods down at one of them, only for the checkout attendant to tell you you’re at the wrong one…every single time!
dear Paddy:are you staying in a resort or hotels located on the hill on the island in which you can swim on the swiming pool ,have exercise facilities and a one hundred steps ladders up and down built between the tiny beach and the resort?It's built by German owner.I forget the name of that but it's awesome.
Laoya Coco Island Resort... Take a small boat and visit its beautiful and the best snorkeling. I would drive to Salakphet and take boat from there.
U have to Go Koh Kood IT s near koh chang! IT s so unique and quiet Island With blue Water beaches and mega Nice Palm beaches who are untouched!
beautiful island Paddy. The have another big mangrove swamp to the south west of the island. be carful of the roads as they have big hills and sharp bends. Go see the light house and the cost line along north west
